MILSA

Mentoring Intercultural Learning Through Study Abroad: intercultural learning programs for students enrolled at the University of Bern

Are you leaving for an exchange semester abroad?

Or have you just arrived from abroad and are a new international degree-seeking student or on a two-semester exchange?

Are you interested in intercultural learning and communication? Then join the MILSA Program - either inbound or outbound - for a valuable experience that allows you to connect with other students, share your stay abroad experiences and improve your intercultural skills.

In Focus

Register for the MILSA outbound program

MILSA outbound is aimed at all students going on a study exchange, to Europe or other continents. It provides students with workshops on intercultural learning and the opportunity to reflect on the experiences before, during and after the study abroad. Students get to know their peers before and share experiences during and after the stay abroad.

Please register by 31 October. You will receive an email with a defintive acceptance shortly afterwards. As the program is limited to 20 people, the rule is first come first serve.
